Jan 12 What is white privilege?

Black privilege is being asked dozens of times throughout your life, “What are you?”

Black privilege is being asked, “Are you sure your name isn’t Muhammad? Are you here to blow the place up?”

Black privilege is having a conversation with your spouse about whether to check “White” or “Black” on your mixed-race child’s medical forms, because there’s no “Other,” “Mixed,” or “Choose to not identify,” in 2014.

Black privilege is worrying that someday, someone might ask whether or not your kid belongs to you because your skin is a bit darker than his.

Black privilege is having your friends tell you, “You act so white,” because you like the same music they do.

Black privilege is being passed over for that job you’re well qualified for because of the way you look.
